What is Quattro Pro? The Quattro Pro is a spreadsheet program developed by Borland, which was later acquired by Corel, and is in direct competition with the dominant spreadsheet application for business software, Microsoft Excel. According to recent surveys, Quattro Pro is the second most widely used spreadsheet program in the world (after Excel, of course), but it runs on a distant second, with Excel dominating about 95% of productivity needs of most users around the globe. Similar to Lotus 1-2-3, Quattro Pro was first shipped and released as a DOS program, and was later rewritten to be adapted to the Windows platform. In fact, their capabilities are so identical that Lotus later filed a lawsuit against Borland, which Borland later won (although at that time the spreadsheet was already sold to Novell, who later sold it to Corel). Quattro Pro’s native file extension is.qpw. Quattro’s name came as a reference to Lotus 1-2-3, since “Quattro” is the Italian for four, meaning that it’s “more” than what Lotus currently offered.
It was later changed to “Quattro Pro” when it was released in 1989. Although Quattro Pro is mostly used only by obscure computer technicians, it and WordPerfect are still updated and developed in a regular basis.

Review summary dominates the productivity-suite market and has become the de facto standard in the corporate realm. Yet it has been unable to wipe out Corel's WordPerfect Office suite, a powerful, less-expensive alternative that has managed to prosper--albeit with a tiny fraction of Microsoft's market share.
WordPerfect Office 12.0 retains the package's core strengths--the venerable WordPerfect word processor, the Quattro Pro spreadsheet app, and the Presentations app--while adding several interface enhancements, including the ability to mimic the interface and keyboard shortcuts of Microsoft Office's main apps,,, and. All isn't perfect, however. WordPerfect Office 12.0 is still dreadful at importing Microsoft Office documents, particularly Excel and PowerPoint files. In our tests, Excel charts were dramatically altered, and PowerPoint presentations' text and graphics were routinely scrambled during the import process. We're not saying that WordPerfect Office 12.0 is a poor product--far from it. In many ways, it's easier to use than Microsoft Office, particularly for users who frequently upload PDF, HTML, and XML documents to the Web.
